So hi~ sorry that this chapter is late and short! I didn't have much time ;-; anyway, enjoy the chapter my little tomatoes~
It had been about 2 weeks since I met Gilbert Belischmidt for the first time. He would greet me at the start of the day with his normal grin, then he would go to class with me. After class, we would eat our lunch with the rest of the Bad Touch Trio and then we would go back to class. After school, he would see me off. This had been happening every day for about 2 weeks.
"Mattie! Come over here!" Gilbert called out, waving his hand in the air in attempt to get my attention. I smiled weakly and walked over to where he was. He greeted me with an overly affectionate hug and I felt my face redden. I almost forgot to mention, I think I'm in love with Gilbert Belischmidt. You may ask how on earth I simply just 'forget' to mention such an important detail, but I'll get to that in a moment.
"Hello, Gilbert." I said, squirming out of his hug. He smiled at me and ruffled my hair replying with his simple "Hallo."
"Where are the others?" I asked him, glancing around the hall to see if I could spot the Spaniard or the French man.
"not sure." He answered, looking down at me with a smirk. I looked up and felt my stomach do a flip. A very unnecessary flip. My face felt slightly warm as I gripped the fabric of my bag. It was annoying. I felt unnecessary feelings and emotions, things I know I shouldn't feel. It made me feel slightly sick how my face would flush when I saw him and I would feel happy and safe around him.
I tightened my fist and followed him to our first class. Maybe I would just sit there and ignore everything around me and just silence everything. I wanted everything around me to be quiet all of a sudden. Maybe a quiet and relaxing silence would do the trick. Just maybe.
"Mattie? Earth to Mattie!" I heard a pale hand waving in front of my face. I looked up at him and my face did that thing again. I struggled a smile and looked up at him again and followed him into the cream painted classrooms. All the other students where already attempting to take a nap or reading something, whether it be a text book or a novel. The teacher had failed to arrive to the class on time. Again.
"Seems like Mr. Late-Asshole is late again." I heard Gilbert say to me as I walked to my seat and seated myself. I tried to ignore the noise around me as I laid my head in my arms. It was kind of stupid. Its only been 2 weeks and I have feelings for someone, and to sum it all up, it was an annoying albino male. What would others think of that? what would Gilbert think of that..?
I took in a shaky breath as I looked back up and faced the desk at the front of the classroom, with Mr. Frantz seated in it. So he arrived did he? I sighed and took out my history textbook, or at least, I think I did. You see, when I'm thinking about something i tend to not pay too much attention to what the hell I'm doing so i usually end up doing the wrong thing. I looked down at the book I had got out and saw it was my maths book. I sighed and place it back in my bag and searched for my history one.
"Mr. Williams." I heard as I found myself pausing in my seat and looking down at the blue carpeted floor. "Please pay attention in my class." he finished his sentence and looked over at me with a look of annoyance on his face. But that was just from instinct, I actually couldn't see him at all so it was a pretty useless piece of information. I took a small gulp and looked up to see the professor looking at me. He didn't look like he was annoyed... he looked like he had.. pity for me? I nodded my head and looked back down.
The time passed slowly as I sat there and thought. I thought about my feelings for Gilbert and that's about it. I had feelings for Gilbert Belischidt. I don't think it love, no, defiantly not... love. Maybe a small crush, but love seems too... well... over the top. It's too exaggerated.
I am not in love with Gilbert Belischmidt.
